Description
The Soo Line is a train game that's all about investing in railroad companies and building track to increase their income. But here's the twist - with only three railroads to invest in, some players will have to rely on savvy investments to stay competitive, especially when playing with four or five players. The majority shareholder makes all the decisions, so you'll need to think strategically about where to put your money. As you play, you'll need to navigate the challenges of track-leasing and cooperation to get past high build costs and tight cube supplies. With the added bonus of Private Companies that pay a fixed income each round, you'll need to balance your investments carefully to come out on top. The goal is to end the game with the most valuable portfolio before the stock values tank, and the player with the most money wins.
